FAQs

  • Your quilting choices impact how long it takes. Simple Edge to Edge designs can be quilted in a day or two. Have extra services? More time. Also, it will matter where you are in the queue. I will give you a rough estimate of completion.

  • If you use social media, you likely have many photos of quilting that you like. Let that guide you. Or you can let the fabric guide you. Have a southwest theme going on? Maybe a cactus pattern would be great. Do you like modern quilting? Modern quilts have lots of straight lines, dense quilting, and negative space. Like flowers? Use a floral pattern. Browse a list of designs here: Statler Stitcher patterns. If you don’t find something you like there but do find a digital design elsewhere, I’m happy to purchase it for you at the cost set by the designer with no mark-up. I can also combine elements of multiple patterns to create something that could work for you.

  • Yes, of course! Here’s the deal with quilts. Sometimes you know what you want. Sometimes you don’t. Hate making decisions? I can do that for you. Let me know how dense you want your quilt quilted and I’ll choose a pattern that you will love. An important caveat is that you have to let me know what you DON’T like so I can eliminate those elements.

  • First of all, it doesn’t have to be crazy expensive. Choose a loosely quilted Edge to Edge design with no add ons for the lowest price.

    Longarm quilting is a business. We cannot give our services away and stay in business. It is not my goal to have an enormous amount of fees.

    I do not charge for the following:

    1. Thread, unless you want more than one color.

    2. Loading or setting up the quilt.

    3. Planning time.

    4. Consultation time with you.

    That is a lot of value added for my clients.

  • Short answer: time and materials.

    The more stitches you put into a quilt, the longer it takes to quilt. It also uses quite a bit more thread. Remember, I don't charge you for thread unless you want more than one color. So, your densely quilted quilt takes longer to finish and uses more resources.

  • Short answer, yes. It’s your quilt. Do it your way. That would be a non-traditional way to back your quilt.

  • Your quilt will be in a plastic tub until it is loaded on the machine. It will return to the tub until payment is made and the quilt is picked up or mailed back.

  • Yes. However that is not the main part of my business. Unless I’m swamped with other clients’ projects, I could make it work. Price would be based on complexity of design and materials provided and intended overall size. Just like with my other work, a consultation would be required.
